“Whilst we appreciate that the vast majority of supporters who ran on to the pitch did so spontaneously to celebrate a famous victory, we were disappointed with the action of a minority of supporters who acted in an inappropriate manner.

"Player and staff safety is of paramount importance and we will conduct a full investigation.

“However, it is important to not let the actions of a few supporters detract from an incredible night at the DW Stadium.
"A special atmosphere was created by both sets of supporters and the match was yet another memorable day in the history of Wigan Athletic.”

A Tannoy announcement telling a football fan at Wigan's DW Stadium his girlfriend had gone into labour may have been a prank.

Officials at Wigan Athletic FC say they are now looking into whether the announcement at Saturday's game against Colchester United was a hoax.

It was during the League One match at Wigan's ground that an announcement was made telling a Daniel Cunliffe that his girlfriend was about to give birth.

Following the announcement, spectators from the stands began chanting, "time to go".

A spokesman for the League One side said the stadium had received a call during the match asking to get the message to Mr Cunliffe but they have since said that they are looking into whether it could have been a joke.

The spokesman said:

"It was called up to our stadium announcer, asking can we get the message to him. It said 'Can Daniel Cunliffe please make yourself known, your girlfriend has gone into labour'. The crowd started singing 'cheerio'."
